This May, Busby's Cares is partnering with WLJ Angel Gowns for a donation matching campaign centered on compassion, remembrance, and support for families experiencing the loss of an infant. WLJ Angel Gowns transforms donated wedding dresses into beautifully handcrafted gowns for babies. Each piece is created with intention and care, offering families a meaningful way to honor their child. These gowns provide not only a gentle sense of comfort, but also a lasting keepsake during an incredibly difficult time. Throughout the month, every donation made in support of WLJ Angel Gowns will be matched, allowing each gift to go twice as far in helping provide these special garments to families in need. It's a simple yet powerful way to extend kindness and support to others in our community. This campaign captures the heart of Busby's Cares by partnering with organizations that lead with compassion and creating opportunities for our community to get involved in meaningful ways. When we come together, we can help ensure that every family facing loss is met with care, support, and understanding. We invite you to join us in supporting WLJ Angel Gowns this month. Your generosity helps create something truly special for families when they need it most. To learn more about the campaign or to make a donation, please visit www.wljangelgowns.org

Busby's Heating & Air Conditioning is proud to announce a new partnership between Busby’s Cares and Golden Harvest Food Bank to help fight food insecurity across the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). As part of the initiative, Busby's Cares will donate 25 meals for every HVAC checkup completed in 2026. Through this effort, routine heating and cooling maintenance will directly translate into meals for families, seniors, and children facing hunger in our community. "Busby’s Cares is rooted in our purpose of improving the quality of life for our team, our community, and our customers," said Kristen Munn, President of Busby's Heating & Air Conditioning. "By tying every HVAC checkup to 25 meals, our customers become part of something bigger – helping us bring comfort not just into homes, but onto tables across our community." Golden Harvest Food Bank serves communities throughout Georgia and South Carolina by distributing food throughout a network of partner agencies and hunger-relief programs. This partnership allows Busby’s customers to make a measurable impact simply by maintaining their home comfort systems. In addition to the meal donation initiative, the Busby's team plans to support Golden Harvest through volunteer efforts and ongoing community awareness campaigns throughout the year. This partnership reflects Busby's long-standing commitment to community involvement. Through Busby's Cares, the company continues to extend its mission beyond heating and cooling – striving to improve the quality of life throughout the CSRA.

March in Motion: Supporting The RECing Crew through Busby's Cares At Busby's, each month our Busby's Cares initiative is an opportunity to highlight organizations that are making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. In March, we were proud to partner with The RECing Crew, a local nonprofit bringing joy, connection, and opportunity to individuals with disabilities across the CSRA. Founded by families and friends of individuals with disabilities, The RECing Crew was built on a simple but powerful idea: everyone deserves access to fun, enriching recreational experiences. With over 200 participants ranging in age from 6 to 88, their programs create opportunities for people of all abilities to stay active, build friendships, and explore new interests. Their wide range of offerings includes: Art programs, ballet, jazz, and tap dance, chorus and music, MMA, boxing, Karate, jazzercise, recreational sports, baseball leagues, social clubs and group activities. One of the most impactful aspects of The RECing Crew's mission is their commitment to affordability. By keeping program costs low, they ensure that more families can participate without financial barriers. That's where community support plays an important role. Through our March donation matching campaign, Busby's Cares helped amplify every dollar given up to an additional $2,000. Those donations directly support operational costs, equipment, and resources that keep these programs running strong.

February marked a milestone moment for our Busby's Cares initiative, one that showcased the power of community, collaboration, and shared purpose. We had the honor of spotlighting Mad Hatter Farm, an incredible local organization dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities for individuals with special needs. Mad Hatter Farm is more than just a farm… inspired by and in memory of their daughter Cassie, it's a place where people of all abilities are empowered to grow, learn, and thrive. Their work fills a vital gap in the community as the only handicap-accessible farm and animal sanctuary in the CSRA. What made February especially memorable was how quickly this campaign grew beyond what we imagined. As part of our commitment, Busby’s Cares pledged to match donations up to $2,000. But the momentum didn’t stop there. Inspired by the cause, Maxwell's Plumbing and Drain stepped forward with an incredible offer to match our match - contributing an additional $2,000 once our original match was met. With the support of our community, $4,000 was raised for Mad Hatter Farm. Thanks to the combined matching efforts, that amount was doubled, resulting in an incredible $8,000 total impact. February’s campaign was a perfect example of what we envisioned when we launched Busby's Cares. It's not just about giving; it's about creating a ripple effect of generosity that spreads throughout our community. We're incredibly thankful to everyone who contributed, shared, and supported this effort. And a special thank you to Maxwell's Plumbing and Drain for stepping up and helping take this campaign to the next level.

This past January, through our Busby’s Cares initiative, we were proud to spotlight an organization making a difference in our community: Child Enrichment. For decades, Child Enrichment has served as a lifeline for children who have experienced abuse, neglect, or trafficking. Their mission to provide intervention, advocacy, and prevention services has helped protect children and guide them toward healing and hope. Through programs like their Child Advocacy Center and CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), they have ensured that every child had a voice and access to the care, support, and resources they needed. These essential services have been provided free of charge, made possible by the generosity of donors and community partners. Through our donation matching campaign, every dollar given to Child Enrichment went twice as far. Busby’s proudly matched donations up to a total of $2,000, amplifying the generosity of everyone who participated. Child Enrichment has served thousands of children across the CSRA, helping them navigate difficult circumstances and find hope again. The support shown in January helped continue that mission by providing safe spaces, advocacy, and resources for children who needed it most. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who gave during this campaign. While January’s campaign has ended, the need for support continues. If you’d still like to make a difference, you can learn more or contribute by visiting their website: https://www.childenrichment.org/donate
